Visiting the Garden

The garden at Bere Mill is open to the public several days a year, and for groups by arrangement.

We will once again be opening our gardens through the NGS garden scheme in 2026. We’re proud to have supported the National Garden Scheme for over 20 years. You can find the dates for our 2026 openings below.

Dates for 2026

Sunday 15th March

Monday 25th May

Sunday 5th July

Monday 31st August

Garden entry is £8 per head; proceeds to the National Gardens Scheme charity.

The National Gardens Scheme is the premier British garden charity and contributes more that £3m a year to health charities raised from private garden openings. Bere Mill was the most visited garden in Hampshire for the NGS in 2023 and raised just under £10,500 for this good cause!

Teas and cakes served – 14:00-16:30

Hours – 13:00 to 17:00.

The garden is also open by arrangement for group visits. All proceeds go to the National Garden Scheme charity and we make a fixed change of £450 for each group visit. Refreshments can be arranged. For more details please contact Rupert Nabarro at rupertnab@gmail.com
